＊Ｎｏｔｅ：You can find the review for Book 1 here. I received a copy of this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
Before the Endless Moon, when the Erlking means to capture one of the seven gods and make a wish to return his lover, Perchta, from the underworld, Serilda and Gild attempt to break the curses that tether their spirits to Adalheid's haunted castle. But it soon becomes clear that the Erlking's hunger for vengeance won't be satisfied with a single wish, and his true intentions have the power to alter the mortal realm forever. Serilda and Gild must try to thwart his wicked plans, all while solving the mystery of Gild's forgotten name, freeing the ghosts kept in servitude to the dark ones, and trying to protect their unborn child.
Romance, danger, and Serilda's journey to find her power as a woman, a mother, and a storyteller make this reimagining of Rumpelstiltskin one that Meyer fans—old and new—will treasure.
"Are you reading fairy tales, miller's daughter? Or are you living one?"
Honestly, as soon as I saw this sampler up on Netgalley I ran to preorder my copy on Amazon. This was already set to be one of my all-time favorite duologies when I read the first book and I was so excited to see how it all ended.
Although this was only the first few chapters, I fell back in love with the story right away. I was so invested in knowing about Serilda and Gild's fate, and whether they would get a happily-ever-after.
I highly recommend this exciting Rumpelstiltskin retelling for fans of fantasy or fairytale retellings. At the time of this review, I've already finished the full-length novel and can 100% say it was a fantastic read!
